Test.Bash(); 2021 - Share Your Current Tooling for Automated Testing - Peet Michielsen

[mwinteringham (Mark Winteringham)]

We’ve learnt about what Peet Michielsen and his team use as their current tooling for automated testing.

We’ll use this Club thread to share resources mentioned during the session and answer any questions we don’t get to during the live session.

Since I was not keen to get distracted and hand my data to yet another web site I’ll ask here.
Q: We can see that Web automated testing takes first place, Mobile second, and Desktops 3rd. So the stats providers for this tell us where IOT device testing automation sits in the mix?

You can do this anonymously, but I added your questions to Slido, hope he answers it live also!

• What is your favorite set of tooling?
  "Any tool (or set of tooling) that gets the job done. And at the moment for me it is Python "
• What was the most fun bit to implement?
  “All the scripting to help with the reporting. It gives me joy to help people automate away the mundane, error prone manual tasks”
• Web automated testing takes 1st place, Mobile 2nd, Desktops 3rd. So the stats providers for this tell us where IOT device testing automation sits in the mix?
